Out Past Kimba

Don't say too much. Sparsity is preferable, allowing space for other things to enter or at least feel at ease to approach and give a sense of presence. Take the wide, flat plains out past Kimba. If you speak, the land will remain silent and you will be alone. But if you enter into the quiet dreaming of the place, hold it within and become perfectly still, after a while the land will begin to tell you its story. You will learn to weep and each tear shed will lighten and make room. Only then can you carry with you a space large enough to fit what you have sought and longed for all your life.
